This post is quite long, but am sure the guys would love tt. Please Read…

The most difficult time to be in a relationship as a guy is in your early twenties.

The period when you are stuck in a limbo, trying to figure out yourself and who you want to be.

At this age, you find it a herculean task asking money from your parents, considering your dad will always remind you of how he was self sufficient at your age.

So you are always left with “Nkechiyere” anyone that comes from them willingly.

To compound your “woes”. You have a girlfriend whom you love so much, you are 24 and she is 23.

And guys being wired to want to take control, you are frustrated at your inability to take care of her like you want to.

I mean where is the money?

You are still jobless, still hustling, still finding your feet. Still putting hands into many things hoping oluwa smiles on you.

All of a sudden, she starts acting out and showing attitude. You call, and she takes forever to pick or return your calls. When she finally does pick, the call is like an interview session with those annoying and frustrating one word replies.

Yes, no, fine, okay, nothing.

Then finally she ends the call with a flimsy excuse like ” wait let me close the fridge”, i will call you back. And the call never comes back.

Then one day she calls you and asks you “where is this relationship heading to?.

And unceremoniously you get inducted into the special hall of fame where members are young guys whose childhood loves and friends or girlfriends they thought they would end up with left them to marry someone else.

Your heart is broken into smithereens.

In this hall of fame, you are all victims. Victims of not having found your path in your early twenties.

At the wedding, no sight is more heartbreaking than seeing “the love of your life” say “I do” to this guy she just met 6 months ago.

To make matters worse, you get an alert from Diamond bank telling you how N13 have been deducted for bank charges. You are mad.

Your N4000, is down to N3987 rendering that N1k useless, you can only withdraw N3k now.

And that’s your home and abroad. Can life be more unfair at this moment?

To make matters worse, she tells you that she wants you to be the godfather to her first son.

You are livid, the plan you both made was to be the father, god wasn’t there. Why are you involving god now. godfather huh .. is that a sort of compensation package?

You chin it up, suck it, move on and double your hustle.

6 years later. You are 30 now. Congratulations, you finally made it. You are as rich as you hoped you will become.

You are one of the happening guys in town. You go to a wedding. With your friends, the men on suit. Those guys that just intimidate everyone in the hall.
